Origins of stone worship date to 2-3 million years ago date to the Jasperite pebble "Makapgo" From The first talisman pendants - predecessors of amulets and crystals to the twelve pillars of Moses, Stonehenge, Gobekli Tepe, Stone Circles ion Japan, Irish prophetic stones, Native American Medicine Wheels. Preamble: interconnected processes in the brain and socail self The Neuroscience of Morals : intricately interconnected processes and regions of the brain. Funk and Gazzanigna observe that: “Moral neuroscience is an intricate and expanding field. This review summarizes the main scientific findings obtained to date. Morality is a set of complex emotional and cognitive processes that is reflected across many brain domains. Some of them are recurrently found to be indispensable in order to emit a moral judgment, but none of them is uniquely related to morality………….The neural circuits of brain regions implicated in morality overlap with those that regulate other behavioral processes,” Brain Architecture of human morality, Funk and Gazzanigna Current opinion in Neurobiology 2009 19:678-681) Musical Neuroscience makes the same observation – that music is interconnected intimately with speech, singing, dancing and is pivotal in the development of a social self. So “stone worship would be no different and interconnected with different processes and function – including very likely the development of a social self From the earliest times of human prehistory, formless stones have been revered and worshiped with the belief that these stones possess an intrinsic divine energy or force - "power", in a word. The worship of stone and megaliths is widespread throughout the world, on every continent, and is almost universal in ancient human cultures, including Africa, as well as Australia - although small round stones are the remaining monuments. man-made for the rock cult. Stone worship often took the form of megaliths - like symbolic temples, so to speak - from the Mesolithic period, then throughout the Neolithic, as well as the Chalcolithic period and, finally, until the of copper. There are more than 1000 examples of surviving stone circles. In Europe there are between 35,000 and 50,000 stone structures of one kind or another and there is a variety of circles, cromlechs, dolmens, menhirs, Logan stones, pillar stones, "oracle" stones (Ireland had numerous prophetic stone idols such as Lia Fail on the hill of Tara), passage tombs, burial mounds, kurgans, cairns or galgals, alignmententine. stones, Guardian stones, Omphalos or Navel of the Earth stones (the Oracle of Delphi had one), or "oracle" stones. As a point of information, in my research – while I found no stone megaliths in the Philippines, I did stumble across “thunderstones!” in “prehistoric” Philippine culture.

"Throughout, Mollier’s work is a fascinating and profound exploration, often of material that has until now received little if any attention from scholars. Her study of “sorcery” as it was constructed in Daoist and Buddhist traditions, for example—which like other chapters makes ample use of vivid pictorial and manuscript evidence—is a landmark study that delves deep into a concern whose pervasiveness in these traditions is easily overlooked, since its signs were often buried within long paragraphs or (as she reveals) tucked into small corners of paintings or manuscript illustrations. It can, along with the other rich veins of Buddho-Daoist, and Dao-Buddhist traditions she explores in the book, no longer be overlooked."

En las últimas décadas han proliferado producciones y eventos científicos, espacios de formación académica de posgrado, libros, etc., que recurren al sintagma “educación inclusiva”. Tal difusión de la noción no ha ido de la mano de los suficientes esfuerzos reflexivos e investigativos por precisar sus alcances, los que quedan atrapados en la comprensión de la educación especial como principal campo de dominación epistémica. El CELEI y varias instituciones asociadas al mismo, venimos trabajando hace varios años, buscando generar un núcleo duro de acuerdos en torno a la noción, reconociendo que esa reflexión y fundamentación epistémica es una cuenta pendiente. En ese marco hemos conformado el Grupo de Investigación Latinoamericano de Educación Inclusiva (GILEI), concebido como una plataforma de colaboración y solidaridad relacional y creativa para pensar los principales nudos críticos, interpelar las articulaciones y discusiones disciplinares a nivel analítico-metodológico que sustentan los planteamientos de la educación inclusiva. En ese marco surge este libro, como una de las primeras empresas colectivas del GILEI. Buscamos generar un espacio de producción de conocimiento que aporte inteligibilidad a este campo de problemas.

This essay is divided in two parts. The first part gives an overview on fairy-related traditions in the high mountains of South Asia. It concentrates on Nuristan and Dardistan2 as well as on Garhwal (there especially on Bangan3) and highlights similarities and differences between these two areas. Moreover, it looks at more distant parallels and at relationships between fairy cults and Hindu Tantrism. The second part presents a recently recorded hymn to the fairy ‘Daughter of the hills’ and discusses its functions and background. Keywords: Himalayan folk religions and oral traditions, fairy lore

I submit a paper on Forster's A Passage to India. It is a revaluation of the novel, with Mrs. Moore and Fielding at its center.

The paper elaborates on the mathematical model of the electric power system with several synchronous generators and in this model the generators are presented by a non-linear mathematical model. By applying such a model, the impact of the manner of supplying the excitation system on the generator’s angular stability was researched in the circumstances of occurrence of a short circuit in the network. The established model enables the analysis of the generator’s stability in the circumstances of extensive disruptions in the electric power system for the case of the generator with separate excitation and the generator with self-excitation. Research results can be useful when making the decision on the choice of the generator excitation type, when renewing the existing and building new generators.
